If you want NASA reliability, build a NASA-grade 24/7 operation across three timezones.

If your plan is just to have the nerds skip sleep periodically, you're an asshole.

Exactly! Heroku should be building that 24/7 operation so I don't have to. Isn't that the whole point of PaaS?

I'm sure that's the plan. But if you really really really need faultless 24/7 you're looking for something akin to "NASA as a service", and I assume that such a service wouldn't be able to invoice using something as pedestrian as a credit card.
